Yes. None of those is going to change blue light to green (which is what 
I want for one of those LEDs).

I've driven with xenons from June now, and if I could choose, I'd rather 
take halogens. The spectre of xenons is annoying and it won't show eg. 
mooses from the woods like halogens do. They also make all road signs 
shine more than they give light to the road and woods ahead and near the 
road.
